    Posted in Sydney Suburban » Push for PM to commit money to building $20b metro line to Sydney's west

    This is bound to stir up the Vic/NSW funding argument when Melbourne is growing faster than Sydney and more cash is going into network in Sydney than Melbourne.  

    Assuming this is real and not purely designed to provoke discussion.

    Name a Metro/Suburban/interurban commuter and regional passenger rail project in Sydney that was Fed funded in last 10-20 years?

    Meanwhile the Vic RFR, promised hand outs for Geelong, what else.....hell you even want the Feds to fund the Airport line, something 3 other states started on their own.

    Mel/Vic currently has the highest population growth, but 10 years ago it was BNE/Qld, with Syd/NSW in between. Who's to day it won't change, again!
